Chapter 973
In the early morning of the next day, all the soldiers in Hecheng had dark circles under their eyes, and their spirits were quite listless.
After being attacked last night, he would be harassed by people from Xincheng every once in a while.
The sound of gongs and drums in the middle of the night was so loud that people couldn't sleep.
When you send someone out, the person who made the noise will run away immediately. If you chase too far away, you may be ambushed.
Send people to patrol the perimeter, and those people keep changing locations, it's too stupid.
And the other side of the city is also doing things from time to time, just like the meeting when they first came, open the city to release troops, and make an attack, but when your side is ready to fight, they go back again, Like teasing you.
Once or twice, it will drive you crazy.
The most hateful thing is that the opponent will bombard the camp with weapons that emit light beams. The damage is mediocre. It can't kill people, but it is more than enough to destroy the tent and make people lose their combat capabilities.
If you want to defend it, you can't defend it, because you don't know where the opponent is going to shoot.
But it doesn't work if you don't take precautions. You can't give up treatment just because you don't know where the opponent is hitting. A tent on fire can't save injured soldiers.
After taking turns like this, I was quite tired.
In Hecheng, from soldiers to officers to Heles, from top to bottom, everyone at every level was harassed to the point of exhaustion.
He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't stop it.
Because the soldiers of the Hecheng army had been hungry for a day and were already quite exhausted physically, it was impossible for them to have much strength to stop these things.
In short, the Hecheng army was overwhelmed by Chen Fang's harassment plan. They were physically and mentally exhausted, and their combat effectiveness had dropped by at least half.
Because the harassment could not get enough rest, Heles had to abandon the original siege plan today considering the state of the soldiers.
But he wanted to give up the plan, but Chen Fang forced him to attack the city.
If you don't call me, I will continue to harass you. I want to rest, but there is no way.
So except that night changed to day and Wenren Jimo stopped beating gongs and drums, the same situation continued.
With the blue veins on his forehead, Heles endured and endured, but under the repeated harassment from Xincheng, he saw the soldiers getting more and more tired, and the tents damaged by the light beams in many places, and the soldiers who were injured and lost their combat capabilities. The soldier, his patience was gradually burned by the anger in his heart.
"It doesn't matter, if you want to retreat now, you can't retreat. Siege the city for me."
Heles ordered angrily.
"My lord, it can't be done. The soldiers are very tired now. If you attack the city at this time, even if you take it, you will suffer a lot of losses." An officer persuaded.
After listening to the roar, Heles said: "Then tell me what to do now, can you stop the other party from harassing, and let our soldiers take a good rest."
The officer was silent, he couldn't do that.
"My lord, why don't we retreat to a farther place first, and then attack the city after resting." Someone suggested.
"Where to withdraw? Tell me where to withdraw?"
"Also, do you think they won't send troops when they retreat, and whether they will fight or not."
"Are you stupid or he is stupid."
Helles scolded the person who suggested it.
The man lowered his head and whispered, "You can retreat to the wild lake before, and you can retreat in batches."
He thought that his voice was so low that Heles couldn't hear him, but he didn't think Heles could hear him with his eyes and ears.
"You're a fucking mallet."
"Retire to the wild lake. How much food we have to consume after going back and forth. I'm afraid that the food will not be enough if we haven't rested. When the time comes, we will chop you up and cook them into food for the soldiers."
"Also withdrew in batches, are you sure the last remaining troops will not be eaten by the opponent?"
"Go away, mindless thing."
Heles was furious and scolded the man bloody, and kicked him away.
If he could withdraw, would he not want to withdraw?
When there is enough food and grass on my side, when the new city is full of dead people?
Hales regretted it again.
Why did I give the soldiers a break to save food? Now because of this wrong decision, I have made a small move with the other party. There is no way to retreat on my side, so I can only bite the bullet and fight.
Otherwise, if this continues, the already exhausted army will be directly dragged down here, without any rest, and then the food and grass will be exhausted, and the opponent will not have to make a move, and the 100,000 army in his hand will be useless.
"Give the whole army an order to attack the city immediately."
Hailes ordered irritably.
All the officers could only lead the order to summon the soldiers to prepare to attack the city.
And the soldiers who received the attack order started to howl.
"Do you want to live? I ran hungry all day yesterday, and I didn't have a rest last night. I can stand still. I'm in good health. Now I want to fight. Isn't this asking me to die?"
"Damn it, those officials simply don't regard us as human beings. Are they going to let us die and save food?"
Many soldiers were outraged.
"Okay, stop making noise, hurry up, or you will be hacked to death here if you are seen by the law enforcement team."
But anger is anger, and the soldiers all know that if a military order is issued, whoever dares to disobey will only die.
So reluctantly, the Hecheng soldiers marched towards the new city.
...
On the city wall, seeing the Hecheng army starting to attack, Chen Fang, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately gave the order.
"Bring the golden juice to the fire for me."
"The Rolling Stones are all ready for me."
"When the enemy approaches the city wall, entertain them well."
After receiving the order, the messengers began to run on the city wall, notifying the commanders of what Chen Fang had ordered.
As a result, the city wall began to get busy, and soon after, there was an extremely unpleasant smell, which was the smell of golden juice boiled by the fire.
"vomit"
There was constant nausea.
"I'm going, I can't take it anymore, let me vomit for a while."
"Oops, someone just took a deep breath because they wanted to hold their breath and passed out."
"Nimma, my tears can't stop falling, this is hot."
"I can't, I'm going to get some fresh air, brothers, you need to push for a while."
It was embarrassing now, before the enemy came, the people on his side were first hit by the smell.
Chen Fang really didn't expect that when the stool was cold, although the smell was bad, he got used to the smell, but once it was boiled, the Qijiu would explode, and the pungent stench was so hot that it was unbearable.
"Chen Fang, look at what the hell you've done, now the entire city wall is so stinky that people can't breathe." Charming said angrily.
The enemy came, but as a result, he got a biochemical weapon on his side, which made him want to abandon the wall and run away.
Chen Fang blocked his nostrils with his fingers, and said in an embarrassing voice, "It's the first time I've used it, who knew it was so stinky."
But I also know that if this problem is not solved, it will be bad for the enemy to attack later, so Chen Fang quickly thought about it and said:
"It will be much better to give the soldiers wet cloths and wear them to cover their mouths and noses."
Charming rolled her eyes fiercely, glared at Chen Fang and then went to make arrangements.
Fortunately, the cloth was not difficult to obtain, and soon a batch of soaked cloth was sent to the city wall and distributed to the soldiers. Everyone wore the cloth to cover their mouths and noses, and it was considered passable on the stinking city wall.
At this time, the army of Hecheng came to the moat.
